Kim Wilson turned a zeal for getting her hands dirty into a thriving specialty market that serves Atlanta, a career path she says was completely unintentional. The charming one-stop shop touts everything from delectable fresh bounty to upscale pieces for the home.
This venture, named Lucy’s Market for Kim’s grandmother and daughter, began when her beloved vegetable garden inspired an outdoor produce stand that was so unexpectedly successful, she gave up her job after 25 years in advertising sales. “I didn’t have a formal vision for Lucy’s Market when it started in 2009,” says Kim, whose curbside market transitioned to an abandoned gas station before moving into its current storefront in the high-end Buckhead neighborhood.
